All That Matters is #100

Browsing the bloggy world today I came across this fun meme at The Mommy Diaries who found it at another site. I thought I would do it and see how many things I could cross off the list as things I have done personally...those are in bold. I must say that I agree...the most important is #100 but don't skip ahead or you might miss out on seeing something I have done...you may have done it too.

So just what is it about #100....Although the other 99 things were experiences that God has allowed me to have they only define me if I choose them to do so. Most certainly I believe that I am completely defined by #100.I am proud to say I am indeed a child of God. On December 21, 197o, I was baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. On that day, my name was written in the book of heaven.#100...all that matters.

Need a GREAT book?

I am a sahm (stay at home mommy) and it is my dream job. My Loves(not in any sort of order mind you): the sound of my children in the morning, doggies, my honey bunny,cloth diapers, God, a great find when needing a bargin and a cool misty rain when on a walk. I also treasure being able to watch an ASU sporting event now that we don't live in the Pac 10 area. Go Devils!!
Lance is a wonderful dad and husband. He works for a great company. The best thing about his job is he works from home so the kids get to see daddy at coffee breaks and lunch time. Lance's passion is golf and would love to spend every day on the course if he could.
Campbell is our first born and has been a dream baby. We are so excited to see her grow and become the person she is meant to be.
Travis Aaron is our sweet baby boy with a great smile. We love watching him grow, laugh and learn.
